YOU don’t whisper in a Mustang. You bellow, you burble, and occasionally, you wake up the neighbours. That’s part of the charm. The latest Ford Mustang GT Fastback, with its 5.0-litre V8 and 10-speed automatic gearbox, is as loud and proud as ever — and yet, for all its swagger, it now feels like a bit of a dinosaur.

I WAS recently lucky enough to be invited to take a look at the all-new Lotus Emira at its Almada Street, Hamilton, showroom; and although there would be no opportunity for a drive, I was looking forward to seeing Lotus’s last-ever petrol-powered sports car in the flesh, so headed off in the direction of Glasgow.
